Alexis de Tocqueville was a Frenchman, and he made that speech in 1848, just half a century after the French Revolution in which proto-communists overthrew the monarchy and went on a bloody Reign of Terror.Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude

Today's pseudocons actually remind me of the Jacobin Club. I've said this many times on this forum. Except, instead of constantly purging themselves of lesser extreme voices and becoming more fanatically communistic, the pseudocons are becoming more fascistic.
My favorite political science book of all time is Tocqueville's Democracy in America. It should be required reading in all schools.
If you like Tocqueville's thoughts on socialism, you will love The Road To Serfdom by Friedrich Hayek. I use to quote from it on this forum a lot a few years back.

Well yes, one could analogize to capitalism VottoThe problem with labels is, folks will attach some extreemist example to them to demonize it all.

Which is what democrats want. The dumbest thing ever was allowing Nazi Germany to be labeled anything other than socialism. It was.Always need to ask: Are we talking about Venezuelan socialism or Germany socialism?
The word means anything, or nothing, at this point.
